Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Picard's refusal to allow a rescue attempt of Geordi due to the storm in 'The Enemy' creates a dangerous situation that later requires Data and Geordi to enter the unstable wormhole in 'The Price'. The unresolved tension from Geordi's capture directly enables the need for the upcoming wormhole mission."
